Oct 7 (Reuters) - Napoli ⁠midfielder Scott McTominay has been cleared ⁠to return to action after undergoing ‌a procedure to correct a heart arrhythmia, the Italianclub said on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Scotland international underwent a ​planned ablation procedure at Manchester's ⁠Spire Hospital in ⁠September after being diagnosed with a mild, benign ⁠arrhythmia.

McTominay ‌has since undergone further tests and been cleared to resume ⁠sporting activity. He has returned to training ​with Napoli ‌and will be available for selection ⁠by coach ​Massimiliano Allegri.

"Scott McTominay underwent further diagnostic tests, which showed that he is fit to ⁠play. The Napoli player therefore ​resumed training with the rest of the team after the period spent training separately," the ⁠club said in a statement.

McTominay has not played since August 30 and missed Napoli's 3-2 Serie A defeat by champions Inter ​Milan as well as ⁠their Champions League loss to Arsenal.

Napoli, who ​are ninth in the Serie ‌A standings, host sixth-placed ​Frosinone on Saturday.

10月7日（路透社）——那不勒斯俱乐部周三表示，中场球员斯科特·麦克托米奈在接受心脏心律失常矫正手术后，已获准重返赛场。

这位 29 岁的苏格兰国脚在 9 月份被诊断出患有轻微的良性心律失常后，在曼彻斯特的 Spire 医院接受了计划内的消融手术。

麦克托米奈此后接受了进一步的检查，并获准恢复体育活动。他已回到那不勒斯队训练，并将接受主教练马西米利亚诺·阿莱格里的征召。

“斯科特·麦克托米奈接受了进一步的诊断测试，结果显示他可以上场比赛。因此，这位那不勒斯球员在进行了一段时间的单独训练后，已经恢复了与球队其他成员的合练，”俱乐部在一份声明中表示。

麦克托米奈自 8 月 30 日以来就没有上场比赛，错过了那不勒斯在意甲联赛中 2-3 负于冠军国际米兰的比赛，以及他们在欧冠联赛中输给阿森纳的比赛。

意甲排名第九的那不勒斯将于周六主场迎战排名第六的弗罗西诺内。
